There are two types of puzzles: ones that give you the resources to activate the game’s towers and more optional ones that fill up a meter that will eventually earn you another flap on your eagle. I often found myself shooting things in the wrong order while standing still because the target just kept moving around. The targets are inconsistent, too, especially when you’re in a puzzle area. As it is, most of your time is spent cruising at a medium pace to a puzzle area. I would have liked these littered throughout the game from the start. In the game’s final, ice-laden area, this changes a little, with certain targets boosting you up. Even in the most open areas of the game, your top speed is relatively low, and you’re only traversing vertically by slowly gliding with your eagle buddy. Given the marketing of the game, I was expecting the experience to be more reliant on movement, speed and flow, but that isn’t really the case.
Some targets line up to points of interest, and some are just there if you’d like to keep your momentum going. These targets add to your boost meter, which expands significantly after beating one of the game area’s bosses.
You sprint and glide around the world of The Pathless by shooting at targets which litter every nook and cranny of landscape. The Pathless wears its influences - Breath of the Wild, Shadow of the Colossus, Ico - on its sleeve, but perhaps veers a bit too heavily from homage to imitation. If that sounds familiar, it’s because it is. A mysterious echoing voice speaking an unfamiliar language guides you on your journey. You and your companion eagle must solve a number of puzzles to activate towers, therefore allowing you to fight and cure a god and progress. You play as the Hunter, and you’re trying to cure four animals that were gods - called Tall Ones - that once defended the land, but are now cursed by someone called The Pathfinder. In the extended ending of the game, the Eagle Mother removes the curse from Hunter and saves her life.The Pathless attempts to inject a long tradition of minimalist fantasy Zelda-likes with a focus on movement and casual play. Once the Godslayer had been vanquished, Hunter releases the Eagle from companionship. Hunter is cursed in the battle, but refuses to succumb to it until she has defeated him. Together they purify the Tall Ones, gaining new powers and unlocking the path to the Floating Isle to defeat the Godslayer. Powerless against the stronger affliction, Eagle Mother disappeared, leaving an eagle in its place. The Eagle Mother guided her to cleanse her corruption, but the Godslayer quickly returned to recorrupt her entirely. But a lone Hunter arrived seemingly out of nowhere to undo the damage upon the lands.
The Godslayer overthrew the Tall Ones, and incapacitated Eagle Mother with his corruption. Eventually, she made children that inhabit various lands as gods, known as the Tall Ones. Then she dragged the island up out of the waters, creating the world. Eventually she saw a branch sticking out of the water and landed to rest. She flew over the ocean looking for a place to land.
The Eagle Mother is the creator of the island and the parent of the other Tall Ones. Upgrades Ultra Flap: Super Flap rises X% higher and X% faster. Active: Eagle flaps, gaining great altitude.
